In 1987 I made a trip through europe by train and by boat, starting in Haarlem, the Netherlands and finally ending up in Strandhill, Ireland. These recordings are made along the way, using a small recorder-walkman. I taped my descriptions of what I saw, the voices of people I met and especially the music they made. Sometimes I edited the sounds on the spot, when I could borrow a second walkman from a fellow traveller
You'll hear me buying tickets, jamming with an old friend, walking into a church, talking to other tourists and listening to buskers, you'll hear a tourist-guide from Liverpool telling her group about The Beatles and finally a singasong evening in a small Irish pub.

Subject: Wonderful piece of "audio verité"

I really enjoyed this piece of "life on the road". It gives a good impression of a period in this person's life. Very well edited too!
